Our first Town Hall Meeting in January was a huge success, with over 200 attendees.

I'm writing to ask your help in making the May 3 meeting a similar success. Contact me (Cathie Butler, see below) for an event flyer. Please help by passing this information along to your friends and neighbors and encouraging them to participate. Feel free to include the flyer or information from it in neighborhood notices, e-mails, and newsletters.

Also, I would be more than happy to photocopy as many copies of this flyer as you would be willing to distribute in your neighborhood.

The City Council has committed that by year end they will consider all of the comments and suggestions from the Building Better Neighborhoods forum and identify some actions to implement.

Also, if your neighborhood has implemented any partnership and/or self-help programs that you would like to showcase for the benefit of other neighborhoods, you are welcome to request a display space for the 5:30 p.m. Program Showcase - just let me know by April 11. Several City departments and Intercity Transit will be showcasing neighborhood based partnership efforts and programs.

Thanks for your help.
